Monthly Labs’ Meet Ups

Starting this month we’re going to begin hosting regular monthly meetings to bring together people interested in learning more about and getting involved in Labs’ projects as we work to build and scale an innovation lab as a public resource.

Instead of launching this initiative with a grand plan, we’re going to start pretty informally and figure out the format as we go. And while we’ll start in the Bay Area, the hope is to quickly expand to other locales. As the open source mantra goes: “release early, release often”.

The first such meet up will be this coming Wednesday, June 25th at 6pm. The location will be Mozilla’s office at 1981 Landings Drive in Mountain View, California. There will be informal talks and progress updates on the various active Labs projects as well as plenty of opportunity for discussion and hacking. We’ll also try to stream the session out to the Labs site.

We hope to have much more to share following this initial meeting as we get a feel for how to structure these meet ups as well as when and where the next one will be!

If you’re local and able to attend this first meet up, we hope to see you on Wednesday but do RSVP by commenting on this blog so that we’ll know how much pizza to order. 😉

Update: Anant has posted a write up on the first of hopefully many regular Lab’s Meet Ups. More soon.

For those of you who are remote but would like to follow the Labs meet-up, streaming will be available starting at 6.15pm PDT.http://webcasts.mozilla.com/brownbag/
